Re: Leather seats

The local interior shop quoted me 500 per front seat and then 400 for the backrest of the back seat and 200 per cushion. I'm pretty sure that was a very high price and it could be done much cheaper.

Re: Leather seats

I prefer Trans Am front seats from '98 to '02 and Camaro rear seats from the same time period.
They don't match so I'm sticking with the leather Trans Am ones as shown in the above post. I have a cloth set in my IROC currently and they bolted right in including the power seat wiring. Just cut off the plugs and solder the wires together.

Third Gens 1988 and below don't have rear shoulder belts so the rear clips on the forth gen seats have to come off but that's the only major difference. Try to get the forth gen rear seat brackets but it's not necessary...
